Bayside University of North Kentucky is experimenting with a remedial program for students on academic probation. The university’s administrators randomly selected 49 freshmen on probation and have a Grade Point Average from 1.00, a D- average, to just under a 2.00, or just below a C average. The students were required to attend weekly tutoring sessions and to take special remedial courses the following semester. To determine whether this program improved students’ GPAs as measured by their GPAs for their first semester after they completed the program, the college compared students’ GPAs for the first semester after they completed this program to their pre-program GPAs.

Step 1: Test Set-up

Bayside University of North Kentucky is experimenting with a remedial program for students on academic probation. The university’s administrators randomly selected 49 freshmen on probation and have a Grade Point Average from 1.00, a D- average, to just under a 2.00, or just below a C average. The students were required to attend weekly tutoring sessions and to take special remedial courses the following semester. To determine whether this program improved students’ GPAs as measured by their GPAs for their first semester after they completed the program, the college compared students’ GPAs for the first semester after they completed this program to their pre-program GPAs.

Table 20 shows the data from this test along with the summary statistic Table 20: Remedial Education Program Test Results

 

Step 2. Select the Level of Significance, α

A 5 percent significance level was selected.

 

Step 3. State the Null Hypothesis (H0) and Alternate Hypothesis (H1)

H0:

H1:

 

Step 4. Compose the Decision Rule

 

 

Step 5. Calculate the Value of the Test Statistic, p-value, and estimate statistical power

Use G*Power to calculate statistical power.

 

Step 6. Decide and Report
